French cuisine, whose roots go back to the Middle Ages, has a rich culture. French cuisine, famous worldwide for its renowned wines and many kinds of cheeses, is known for meat dishes cooked with different sauces and famous desserts such as crème brûlée, macaron, and soufflé.
Belgian cuisine combines the traditions of German and French cuisines.
Although Dutch cuisine is not very rich, its cheeses are worth trying. The other flavors are generally fast-food style.
